Driver Village
Driver Village pairs small-town character with easy connectivity, set at a historic crossroads in the northern reaches of Suffolk. Tree-lined streets, heritage storefronts, and neighborly porches give it a relaxed pace, while everyday errands and dining are minutes away in nearby Harbour View. Commuters appreciate quick routes to job centers in Chesapeake and Portsmouth, yet the area still feels delightfully local.
Outdoorsy residents have plenty to explore. The Seaboard rail corridor turned multiuse path invites morning rides and evening strolls, and river access at Bennett’s Creek and Sleepy Hole offers sunsets, fishing, and seasonal events. Weekend adventures range from neighborhood gatherings like Driver Days to wildlife watching at the expansive Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, where cypress-lined waters and quiet trails reward curious wanderers.
Families are served by Suffolk Public Schools, with campuses and programs that anchor community life. High school games, middle school concerts, and library story times become part of the weekly rhythm, while healthcare needs are covered close by at Sentara Obici Hospital. Everyday conveniences—farm stands, local eateries, and parks—add to the area’s easygoing appeal.
